Re: How to: Xubuntu - Thunar Native Windows Network Browsing

I hope my other fellows from my country could more understand it
Thank u very much...

*** 6.6) Double check that the permission to use fuse took. Applications -> System -> Users and Groups... Manage Groups... find fuse and choose properties. Make sure your user name account is in that group and check-marked.

I hope this helps my fellow Xubuntu users... and I also hope that the Xubuntu team somehow enables something similar by default, or at least as an install option.

Wow! Thank you so much. I guess one of the drawbacks of Xubuntu is its very lightness. So one has to add the components as needed, and that takes some sophistiation. As a noob, I really appreciate the help. Worked like a charm.

Re: How to: Xubuntu - Thunar Native Windows Network Browsing

For some reason it worked like a charm the first time, but after shutting down and restarting I get a "permission denied" when trying to access /media/network, and, although I can see the architecture of the Windows computer on the network, when I try to connect to a folder I get "Failed to open directory {NAME}, Connection timed out. When I open Thunar under my login I see the Network folder, but if I open Thunar as root, or if I navigate to /media/network from terminal, the file doesn't exist. I think something has happened to cancel the fuse after the reboot, but I'm a noob and can't figure it out. All help appreciated!!!
